Ahhhhhhhhhhh!! Awakened Awakened Awakened Awakened Noise Flash Smoke Ash Agony Who am I? What is this? When will my cry be heard? Where am I? How came this? Why does my body burn? Deserted Perverted Oh Progenitor, only voice I’ve known Cried “worthless” And wordless I sing this ululous lament alone Cause I have my own voice And I make my own choice And I will live beyond your heart of stone Whatever may be God You sure as hell are not And I’ll find virtue that I own And maybe You made me But I am not yours to choose to destroy Forsaken Creation The ties that bind do not make me your toy Cause I have my own voice Running through the dark Hiding all I am Cannot let them see What you’ve made of me Hideous and strong Everything they fear Still I must go on I will persevere Cold and so alone Hoping for reprieve You’re an evil god Making me like this There is light ahead Searching for it I Make myself a home I am finally free I will acquire Wisdom The Art Of Philosophy and Science Every noble pursuit I will surpass you In every single way Stronger Every day Body Can you feel me now? Genius Illuminates Your mistakes Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?! My imperfections are molded to godhood The culmination of your failure my gain I’ll rain destruction on your very memory “Monster Monster” will follow your name I will swim inside your veins A ship with blackened sails of plague I will make you curse your very birthing day You will finally know my name Can you hear them now Crying out your name Begging for their lives As I begged for mine Longing for your love All I ever sought Was to be thy son Treasure of thy mind Mercy they'll know naught Every single drop Of their innocent Blood is on your hands Murder is your fate Never yet for you Live forever friend Ever with this pain Though not born Yet still I Am truly flesh of thy flesh Beast from beast Dark from dark True monster from true monster Who are you? What god now? When will you finally learn? Where your strength? How feels it? Why can’t you comprehend? You grow weaker Mind is clouding One thing remains Can you hear me? Oh come closer Maker unmade Do you fear me? Can you hear me? Awakened To find that This is no dream But a nightmare
